Welcome back to Darby School District! We are thrilled to begin another exciting school year together, filled with opportunities for learning, growth, and success. As we gather once again in our small school setting, we are committed to providing world-class opportunities that prepare each student for a bright future.

One of our continued  themes over the past couple of  years has been, "Mountains Connect Us, Passion Ignites Us, and Innovation Drives Us," this theme helps capture the essence of our school community. Just as mountains connect landscapes and people, we aim to foster connections that support and inspire each of you. Passion is the fuel that ignites our learning and drives us to pursue our interests and goals with enthusiasm. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do, encouraging the 4C’s of 21st Century learning, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration and Communication among our students.

At Darby School District, we pride ourselves on embodying "The Tiger Way" – a set of principles that guide our actions and interactions. Respect for ourselves and others, responsibility for our choices and commitments, and resilience in facing challenges are the cornerstones of our community. These values create a supportive environment where every student feels valued, empowered, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

As we embark on this journey together, let us celebrate our diversity, embrace our strengths, and support one another in achieving greatness. Whether you are returning to familiar hallways or joining us for the first time, we are excited to have each of you as part of our school family.

Here’s to a year filled with discovery, growth, and meaningful connections. Together, let’s make this school year unforgettable!

The Tiger Way,

Tony Biesiot
